The Full WING Mixing Engine, Rack-Mounted
The Behringer WING Rack 48-Channel Digital Rackmount Mixer delivers the full WING mixing system in a compact, rack-ready format designed for professional live, studio, and installed applications. With 24 Midas PRO mic preamps, a 48-channel, 28-bus mixing engine, and extensive onboard processing, it provides the control and flexibility needed for complex audio environments without the footprint of a traditional console surface.
Designed for Rack-Based and Remote Workflows
This mixer is made for engineers who want to command a full-featured console from a laptop, tablet, or networked control surface rather than a physical fader bank. The WING Rack lets you command all the performance power and features of the full-sized WING right from your laptop, tablet, or control surface, making it a serious candidate for monitor rigs, playback rigs, or compact FOH setups where a traditional console surface would be awkward or unnecessary.
Reference-Grade Preamps and Deep Processing
The WING Rack comes equipped with 24 Midas PRO preamps, delivering the same sweet sound and huge dynamic range found in the venerable Midas M and PRO series mixers, alongside 8 Midas PRO XLR outputs. Its 40 stereo input channels feature built-in EQ and dynamics processing, some modeled after famous hardware from manufacturers like Pultec, SSL, SPL, Neve, Focusrite, dbx, Universal Audio, elysia, and Empirical Labs, while 4 main, 8 matrix, and 16 aux stereo buses all include dual inserts, 8-band parametric EQs, a stereo imager, and full dynamics processing.
Extensive I/O in a Compact 4RU Chassis
The WING Rack is jam-packed with I/O, offering 374 inputs and outputs in total. Three AES50 ports allow expansion to large-scale systems with low-latency remote I/O, supporting up to 144 input and output signals with ultra-low jitter, while StageCONNECT adds a proprietary digital path for transmitting up to 32 audio channels over a single XLR or DMX cable. Four additional rear-panel stereo outputs with high-performance headphone amplifiers are tailor-made for IEM monitoring applications, alongside a front-panel headphone connector for local monitoring.
Intuitive Control and Onboard Recording
A 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen running the WING user interface keeps navigation clear and efficient, backed by touch-sensitive rotary controls, three separate fader sections, and a Custom Control section that can be tailored to individual workflow preferences. The unit includes a WING-LIVE card enabling up to 64 channels of 32-bit/48kHz audio to be captured directly to a pair of SD or SDHC cards, alongside a 48x48 channel USB audio interface for direct DAW integration.
